Is it leprechauns or me?

I am in a quandary.

Someone or something is messing with me. 

I have lost sleep the last two nights because of it.

I love to read but it seems forever since I have read for fun.

I have had homework for bootcamp. 

I have read some self-help and nutrition books 

that go along with what I am learning in bootcamp.

Last week though, I picked up a book

my niece Ellen had given me and started reading.

Usually I read in fits.

A few minutes here and there.

I either become obsessed with chores 

that I remember I need to do,

phones calls to make,

or I go into a coma.

I don't do movies very well either...same problem.

Most of the time, I have several books going at once.

Every time I pick one up I have to do a quick review

to remember what it was about.

My kindle is full of half started books, also.

This particular book was pretty good.

I was about a third of the way in.

Friday I was off to Annie's to babysit.

I had my book and a new magazine

in my pile of stuff to take.

I had a tote with my healthy lunch and snacks.

I had my camera bag.

I had my purse.

I remember thinking 

"I shouldn't take the book because I will

be too wrapped up playing with the kids"

but also thinking "well, they might nap."

I don't remember what my final decision was.

Later that evening I decided I wanted to read.

I couldn't find the book.

I looked in my car.

Annie said it wasn't at her house.

Maggie said she hadn't seen it.

The cleaning lady said she hadn't seen it.

I have searched my house.

I am a neat nik so it should be easy to spot.

It is not.

I have looked under my bed...

not logical since

I don't think I ever took it upstairs.

But then again...who can remember?

I have looked under and behind sofas

and under cushions.

I have looked in the laundry basket,

the trash, and the fridge.

(I once found my phone in the trash and the fridge.)

Shuttie critics.

Now I think I may just order it on Kindle.

The main problem with that plan is 

when I do a search I cannot seem to find

The I Can't Remember The Title by Something What's Her Name. 

Damn you Dead Estrogen once again.
